SPEAKING of the Democratic County
Ticket we can truthtully say that the
men who compose it are in point of
merit fully mp to the mark and that
the party may congratulate itself up
on the selection made at their late
convention, In examining the ticket
separately we find in the first place
that our candidate for Associate Judge,
JonN GROVE,
is man of liberal, but logical opin.
ions, one wto is fully able to discern
between right and wrong and who
will fill the place beside the president
Judge in creditable and conscientious
manner. A look at the candidate for
sheriff,
JoHN NorL,
certainly makes very favorable
impression on everybody. There are
several weighty reasons that make
Mr.. Noll an especially deserving can
didate Tor office, lie is poor man,
q mason by trade who earns his bread
by the sweat of his brow; he is q vet
eran of the late war and has always
been faithful and active democrat.
To add to these, he is an intelligent
and very agreeable gentleman and
cannot fail to make a first-class sheriff.
We think he is just popular enough TO
carry the county by storm.
JAMES KIMroRT,
who is the nominee for county treas
urer, is known to many of our readers
as a man of strict integrity and very
even temper. He is one of the most
respected farmers in Penns Valley and
a democrat of the best timber. His
election which is only n matter of
time will put man in Office who will
perform the functions of his position
TO the satisfaction of all the citizens of
the county.
JOHN 4. RUPP,
the candidate for register, is miller
bv trade, and began at the foot of the
ladder, as q farm hand. He taught
school for several years and acquired
good, substantial education. tie is
consequently well fitted for the Reg
ister's office and along with his fellow
candidates has the enviable reputation
of being lifelong Democrat. John
is a good fellow and he'll "get there"
without any doubt.
W. G. MORRISON,
who captured the nomination for Re
corder, will fill the bill admirably. He
is scholar and has been teaching
school for quite q number of years in
different parts of the county and is
liked everywhere. The records which
he will have to keep in his office will
be written in nice, clean and legible
hand and he will always be pleasant
to those with whom he may have bus
mess transactions. Morrison should
and will be elected by rousing vote.
For commissioners the choice of the
convention tell upon
A. J. GRIEsT AND NJ. S. FIEDLER.
AS far as Mr.. Griest is concerned
we can but say what we have said be-
tore-that he proved himself to be an
excellent fnancier, because he and his
colleagues in Office dragged the county
out of debt and at the same time left
the taxpayers down easy by reduced
tax rate. His nominatian is but q
we'll deserved acknowledgement of bis
faithful services in the last six years
aud the taxpayers are willing to see
him go on in his economical way fol
another term. NJ. S. FIEDLER viii
make good commissioner. He is
good farmer and business man, able
to take excellent care of his own at
fairs, and, it is said, it takes that kind
of a man to watch over the affairs o
others. He is consequently well quail
ifed for the Office and we think Penn:
valley will have reason to be proud o.
her commissioner. The gentlemen
selected for auditors are
III. A. MCKEE AND F. F. JANnsoN,
both competent men, who have more
or less experience in the duties devolv
ing upon them.
